History at Camden Park
Listed only in the 1857 catalogue [T.522/1857]. Glycine backhousiana was presumably named for James Backhouse, the York nurseryman. He visited Australia as part of a world tour in the 1830s. He visited William Macarthur at Camden Park, corresponded with him from time to time subsequently and supplied many plants to the gardens. It is possible that Macarthur obtained Glycine backhousiana from Backhouse.
